'''The Dark Masters'''

'''The Clan'''

TDM is a clan dedicated to Populous the Beginning.

'''History'''

''2002''

It was originally found in 2002. The oldest written trace is dated 28 June 2002 and can be found on CDplayers site, where it states:

"28 June 2002
Walhalla and Supertribe have started a new clan called 'The Dark Masters', with the home page at www.avidgamers.com/TDM. As they say on the site: 'The Dark Masters is a new Populous clan under leadership of Supertribe and Walhallah, we don't accept people that are in other clans, this clan is only for Populous players, so we don't play other games. We're competitive and we will try to beat every other Populous clan.'

Supertribe approached Walhallah one day with the idea of starting a clan. At the time, both players can not be considered top of the bill. Walhallah, who wasnt much of a clanman those days (he long held several clan's invitations under consideration) said yes as he liked the idea of something new.

''2003''
Under management of Supertribe and Walhallah the clan grew to a considerable size of 80 players. Several improvemements were made to the website. Also the first attempts to participate in clan tournaments were made.
To fight inactivity of its members the clan introduced a ranking system based on the Populous system of braves-shamans, with demotion of one rank per month inactivity in order to keep the active members on top and slowly remove the inactive members.

''2004''
Early 2004, with Supertribe having slipped into inactivity, Walhallah searched for active co-leaders to run the clan and found these in Keith181 and a few active members like Shinak, HairyEyeBall.

Towards the middle of 2004 the clan management was pretty desparate to revive the clan. One of the clan's myths is about the moment in time where Keith181 demoted Supertribe and took away his admin powers.

Somewhere around summer 2004 the clan collapsed at a size of 120 members of which 110-115 were inactive. To turn the tide Walhallah decided to start all over, based on what the clan has learned in time. All 120 members were deleted and Shiana and ThePhilosopher were asked to help rebuild the clan. With ThePhilospher as co-leader, the clan's policy changed to democracy. From now on, all members were equal, with voting and discussing rights on all subjects such as which members to invite. No new member would be invited without the members having discussed about it. This led to a clan of around 15 - 20 active, quality members.

''2005''

During 2005 TDM has been a very stable clan with many of populous' greatest players such as Ada1054, Basecoat, Chanaman, Genesis, Joe, Robberdog, [[RuthlesSpy]], Smudgey, Supertribe, [[Walhallah]]. Many of those players have been training new players and are contributing in various ways to turn the community into a great place for a great game.

Walhallah: /* The "4th" Wave....Present TDM... */

==The Autobiography of....RuthlesSpy==
The player...The person...Who is the "RuthlesSpy"....This wiki will present to the reader the captivating and single view of the man, the mystery...The RuthlesSpy

==The Beginning..."The Nub"==
After purchasing Sim City 3000, he noticed a strange and fascinating demo found in the depth, Populous: The Beginning. After viewing the final credits to the game, and thorouglly enjoying the games "simple" levels, he saw that the game was out! It was near Christmas of 1998 and he received a copy of the game as a present. Unearthing the depths of the game, he noticed there was something "new" about this game...Multiplayer. He never imagined playing this game with other people from around the world! But for some strange reason, he was never good at the game compared to the rest of the "bullies" in the old days of EA/Bullfrog Pop:TB Lobby in '99. His first username was "mail22". To the author it seemed a very good choice. Playing on 56k and occassionally playing online, he was just a regular ole' player. The lobby crashes and soon to be perpetual downage of the EA/Bullfrog lobbies told him to depart from this game and venture off into other games like, Rainbow6: Rouge Spear and the newly discovered joy of other First-Person Shooters.

==The "2nd" Wave..."The Huh?"==
Feeling the urge to play Pop:TB again, online, he ventured back to the lobby, in the middle of 2000, only to find the place riddened to what seemed at first, a new face. New players, new "launchers", new tactics...He returned with enthusiasim but pondered exactly what his username and password was. He saw that he could register another name.....He chose, RuthlesSpy. Knowing full well that it was spelled incorrectly, he assumed the other players would realize the easy flow of RuthlesSpy then RuthlessSpy which added an unescessary S and made the name longer and unappealing.

The creation of RuthlesSpy also had to do with his favorite follower, the [[spy]]. One day he was encountered with the opportunity to join a newly founded clan, Team Nashua. After performing well in a game of Pressure Point with Challengeme3, at the time, 2nd (or was it 3rd in command...) of TN, he was quickly sent a link to register up. Thinking it was a good thing, he sent in an application, and was accepted, almost immediately.

==The "3rd" Wave..."The Longest Years, TN Years"...==
Contributing thenceforth, soley for the pursuit of the clan, he signed on as RuthlesSpy with the Spy rank and boasted of his Team Nashuaism. If thats the word....He contributed to the TN forums and was now more recognized in the Pop. Lobbies. AS fate would have it, he encountered TheGabber, who was trying something new, which essentially was "Sand Worlds" for Pop:TB...A new set of muliplayer maps. He Beta tested it and soon became well known to the Gabber. 2001, New maps were rolling out, but sad news was alooming, the EA/BULLFROG lobbies would soon be discontinued. Rampant talk soon filled the fledgling community as to what would happen to this game. Many dissapeared while others looked optomistic for the future.

The EA Lobbies soon was exstinguished, and a temporary time of about 1-2months, there was no "lobby" to play Pop. Some used the MP: IP connectivity, while others used the MSN ZONE IP lobbies to get games...Other used a new service called "Gamespy Arcade" to play Pop:TB....RuthlesSpy...He decided to wait for the "NewWorlds" Client...promised to be twice as better then the EA Lobbies.

RuthlesSpy was pleased when it was released, and continued playing once again. He was an active member of the lobby and of Populous Reincarnated forums (the revamped name of NewWorlds) from 2002 onwards, till present days. He was well known, but slowly lost intrest in the game and soon stopped playing all together and sticked around for the chatting and company. Late 2004, he got cable broadband. On Sun May 15, 2005 he was made MODERATOR of the Populous Reincarnated forums. He was now recognized now as moderator, TN member, and Beta Tester. It all came to an end for TN a couple months later, apprx. July, but it was inevitable, as his intrest in TN wained ever since an incedent in '04 with the clan. He recieved ridicule from TN members, but he didnt care.

==The "4th" Wave....Present [[TDM]]...==
He went solo from thenceforthe till around early December 2005, when he recieved an invitation from Walhallah to join [[TDM]]...Many other [[TDM]] members soon proposed the same invitation to RuthlesSpy.....He accepted it and became a [[TDM]] member...........

== Contacts ==
Can usually be found bumming around the [[Populous Reincarnated]] forum or Matchmaker. If you need to contact him immediately or for emergencies they are... AOL: SushiX21788 Y!Messanger: RuthlesSpy MSN: RuthlesSpy@hotmail.com Email: Alakazam77@mail.com
